Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP - 8th International Workshop on Business Process Design (BPD) @BPM2012
by Gustaf Neumann 21 May '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP - 8th International Workshop on Business Process Design (BPD) @BPM2012 Date: Sun, 20 May 2012 23:56:07 +0000 From: Marta Indulska <m.indulska(a)business.uq.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> BPD2012 - 8th International Workshop on Business Process Design http://www.bpd-workshops.com/ In conjunction with: 10th International Conference on Business Process Management (http://bpm2012.ut.ee/) 3-6 September, 2012 Tallinn, Estonia Paper submission deadline: 1st June 2012 Business Process Design is at the core of Business Process Management. As the most value-adding stage of the process lifecycle, it is dedicated to the development of improved and compliant business processes. Designing a process that improves corporate performance is a challenging task that requires multi-disciplinary expertise and a plethora of inputs (for example, organizational strategies, goals, constraints, and IT capabilities, to name a few). However, unlike other well-defined and theory-grounded stages of the process lifecycle (e.g., process modeling), Process Design is still only poorly understood and lacks a widely accepted and theoretical sound foundation. Existing scientific approaches have focused often on only small, well-understood business domains and are either centered around atomic improvement proposals or general reference models. Overall, much more attention is devoted to process modeling techniques and standards than actual value-adding Process Design. BPD2012 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who have an interest in advancing the state of the art in Process Design. We seek contributions by authors who wish to share their innovative ideas and insightful observations on the subject. Two main categories of submissions will be considered: regular papers and industry papers. The workshop focuses exclusively on aspects related to process improvement within the process lifecycle. This specialization excludes the well-researched process modeling and process execution. Within this specialized scope, topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Process improvement methods, tools and techniques * Process improvement objectives * Process improvement patterns * Process improvement measures and evaluation * Process improvement in the cloud * Process reference models * Process innovation * Constraints in process improvement (e.g. legislative requirements, compliance) * Process design governance * Process improvement for emerging challenges (e.g. greening of processes) * Collaborative process improvement * Human aspects (involvement, participation, acceptance) in process improvement * Linking process improvement to organizational strategy and goals * Success factors in process improvement * Case studies and experiments Paper Submission: Only papers in English will be accepted, and the length of the paper must not exceed 12 pages. Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpd2012. For formatting instructions and further details please refer to the BPD2012 website:http://www.bpd-workshops.com/submission-instructions/ Co-Chairs: Marta Indulska The University of Queensland, Australia Dr Michael zur Muehlen Stevens Institute of Technology, USA Michael Rosemann Queensland University of Technology, Australia

The length of the final/Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages. Authors whose papers are ACCEPTED will be instructed to upload their papers to a particular web site for publication - the uploaded papers to the publication web site will only be checked for correct typesetting. The proceedings will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and will also be made available online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for each published paper (science citation databases such as: Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering& Technology; The French National Center for Scientific Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (covers the core scientific literature in Science; about 90% of inclusions are journals; only about 9% are proceedings; the set of proceedings that EEE is part of has been selected to be among the 9% - accessable from INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN International); and others. Though, there is no guarantee that the proceedings will also be included in EI Compendex/Elsevier indexings, in the past, the proceedings that EEE was part of were included in these databases. Therefore, we will also be sending the proceedings for indexing procedures to EI Compendex/Elsevier. In addition to the publication of the proceedings, selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a number of research books contracted with various publishers. These books will be composed after the conference. Also, many chairs of tracks will be forming journal special issues to be published after the conference. Note that authors who submit papers in response to this announcement, will have their papers evaluated for publication consideration in the Final Edition of the conference proceedings which will go to press soon after the conference (the conference would then make the necessary arrangements to ship the printed proceedings/books to such authors). The Final Edition of the conference proceedings will be identical to earlier edition except for a number of sections/chapters appended to the proceedings/book. 32229 Submission of Poster Papers: Poster papers can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same instructions that appear above. On the first page, the author should state that "This paper is being submitted as a poster for EEE". Poster papers (if accepted) will be published if and only if the author of the accepted poster wishes to have his/her poster published as a 2-page extended abstract.) GENERAL INFORMATION: EEE conference is being held jointly (same location and dates) with a number of other federated research conferences (World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing). This federated congress is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science, computer engineering and applied computing.

To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606 An important mission of the congress is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] ARCOE-12: Third call for papers Datum: Fri, 18 May 2012 13:21:42 +0200 Von: ARCOE Announcement <announcement-lists(a)arcoe.org> Antwort an: ARCOE Announcement <announcement-lists(a)arcoe.org> An: announcement(a)arcoe.org === CALL FOR PAPERS === Acquisition, Representation and Reasoning with Contextualized Knowledge, 4th International Workshop (ARCOE-12) http://www.arcoe.org/2012 held in collocation with 20th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI-12) Montpellier, France -- Submission Open -- Submission now open via: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arcoe12 -- Important Dates -- Submission deadline: 28 May 2012 Notification: 28 June 2012 Camera ready: 15 July 2012 Early registration: 5 July 2012 Late registration: 8 August 2012 Workshop dates: 27-28 August 2012 -- Description of the workshop -- Dealing with context is one of the most interesting and most important problems faced in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Traditional AI applications often require to model, store, retrieve and reason about knowledge that holds within certain circumstances - the context. Without considering this contextual information, reasoning can easily run to problems such as: inconsistency, when considering knowledge in the wrong context; inefficiency, by considering knowledge irrelevant for a certain context; incompleteness, since an inference may depend on knowledge assumed in the context and not explicitly stated. Contextual information is also relevant in many tasks in knowledge representation and reasoning such as common-sense reasoning, dealing with inconsistency, ambiguity, and uncertainty, evolution, etc. In recent years, research in contextual knowledge representation and reasoning became more relevant in the areas of Semantic Web, Linked Open Data, and Ambient Intelligence, where knowledge is not considered a monolithic and static asset, but it is distributed in a network of interconnected heterogeneous and evolving knowledge resources. The ARCOE workshop aims to provide a dedicated forum for researchers interested in these topics to discuss recent developments, important open issues, and future directions. -- Topics -- ARCOE-12 welcomes submissions on the topics below as well as on their intersection and other topics related to acquisition, representation, reasoning with context and its applications. Philosophical and theoretical foundations of context: 1. What is context and how should it be represented. 2. Relevant types of contextual information and their properties. 3. Combining contextual information with object information for reasoning. 4. Context and common-sense reasoning. 5. Exploiting context in inconsistency and uncertainty handling, defeasible reasoning and argumentation. 6. Contextual logic programming. 7. Updating contextual knowledge and context-aware belief revision. 8. Frameworks for formalizing context and context-aware knowledge representation. Context modeling and contextual knowledge engineering: 1. Modeling of user's/agent's context. 2. Context driven organization of knowledge and modeling. 3. Ontologies for context modeling. 4. Context-aware modeling tools and methodology. 5. Comparisons to context-unaware modeling techniques. Effective reasoning with context: 1. Effective context-aware reasoning algorithms. 2. Distributed reasoning with context. 3. Context-driven heuristics in classical reasoning systems. 4. Reasoning under uncertainty and inconsitency. 5. Defeasible reasoning. 4. Hybrid formalisms for reasoning with context, including sub-symbolic contexts Applications of context in areas such as: 1. Agent communication and coordination. 2. Semantic Web and Linked Open Data. 3. Knowledge modularization. 4. Ontology matching. 5. Ontology fault diagnosis and repair. 6. Ontology evolution and versioning. 7. Information integration. 8. Ambient intelligence and pervasive computing. 9. Exploiting context in Web 2.0 applications, e-commerce, and e-learning. -- Submission Requirements -- Papers of two types can be submitted. Regular papers are intended for research reports and surveys. ARCOE also welcomes reports on significant work in progress which has already achieved some interesting partial results, as well as papers recently submitted or published elsewhere as long as their topic is in line with the workshop. Regular papers should not exceed 12 pages in length including references. Position papers are intended for presentation of interesting new open issues and challenges, and opinions on the status of the field. Position papers are limited to 6 pages including references. All papers must be formatted using the Springer LNCS style: http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html and submitted in PDF format via EasyChair using: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arcoe12 The distinction during the selection-phase will be based on 1) Relevance, significance and quality of the submission; 2) The contribution's potential to foster cross-pollination and discussions on ARCOE main themes during the event. Accepted papers will be presented either as oral presentations or as posters, depending on the choice of the program committee. However, all accepted papers will be included in the Working Notes in their full form and will be accessible via the Internet. -- Invited Talks -- * The role of context in controlling inconsistency - Alan Bundy, University of Edinburgh * Multi context logics: a formal support for structuring knowledge - Luciano Serafini, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento -- Workshop Co-Chairs -- * Michael Fink, Vienna University of Technology * Martin Homola (primary contact), Comenius University, Bratislava * Alessandra Mileo, DERI, National University of Ireland * Ivan Jose Varzinczak, Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research, South Africa -- Steering Committee -- * Alan Bundy, University of Edinburgh * Thomas Eiter, Vienna University of Technology * Luciano Serafini, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento -- Resources -- ARCOE-12 website: http://www.arcoe.org/2012/ EasyChair submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arcoe12 ARCOE workshop series: http://www.arcoe.org/ ECAI-12 website: http://www2.lirmm.fr/ecai2012/ Enquiries about the ARCOE workshop: arcoe [at] arcoe [dot] org Registration: http://www2.lirmm.fr/ecai2012/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=… -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

Computational science techniques require, in many cases, models and representations of knowledge for the complex processes supporting research in the different fields, and complex models are also required to capture the research context itself. Relevant examples are scientific ontologies as the Gene Ontology or the Plant Ontology and metadata schemas as the Ecological Metadata Language (EML), but many other models that are less used are regularly used in computational science research. These artifacts call for specific methods, techniques and scientific infrastructure support that deserve separate attention. The present issue aims at gathering high quality research results about the use of knowledge representations, schemas and models in computational science for concrete applications, the design of e-science infrastructure support or papers dealing with the analysis, development or evaluation of the representations themselves. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: ? Knowledge Representation& Reasoning Techniques ? Knowledge Acquisition Techniques ? Knowledge Engineering Technologies& Applications ? Autonomic Knowledge Processing& Applications ? Intelligent Data Mining& Applications ? Semantic Networks& Applications SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ====================== Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research as papers. All submitted papers will be subject to rigorous peerreview by at least 3 reviewersfor originality, significance, clarity and quality. A selection of papers presented at the KREAM¹12 workshop will be invited to prepare extended versions for the special issue. The extended version of papers must contain at least 30-50% new material and the title of the extended version must clearly and unmistakably differ from the title of the article presented at the conference. All manuscripts must be formatted according to the guidelines of the Journal of Universal Computer Science (JUCS),available at http://www.jucs.org/ujs/jucs/info/submissions, and submitted by email to msicilia[at]uah.es. IMPORTANT DATES =============== ? Submissions due (including extended versions of KREAM papers): 30 July 2012 ? Notification of acceptance/rejection: 15 September 2012 ?

All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their final papers for publication.) Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, and email address for each author. The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the content of the paper. The name of the conference that the paper is being submitted for consideration must be stated on the first page of the paper (ie, SERP) as well as a 100 to 150-word abstract. The length of the final/Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages. Authors whose papers are ACCEPTED will be instructed to upload their papers to a particular web site for publication - the uploaded papers to the publication web site will only be checked for correct typesetting. The proceedings will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and will also be made available online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for each published paper (science citation databases such as: Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering& Technology; The French National Center for Scientific Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (covers the core scientific literature in Science; about 90% of inclusions are journals; only about 9% are proceedings; the set of proceedings that SERP is part of has been selected to be among the 9% - accessable from INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN International); and others. Though, there is no guarantee that the proceedings will also be included in EI Compendex/Elsevier indexings, in the past, the proceedings that SERP was part of were included in these databases. Therefore, we will also be sending the proceedings for indexing procedures to EI Compendex/Elsevier. In addition to the publication of the proceedings, selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a number of research books contracted with various publishers. These books will be composed after the conference. Also, many chairs of tracks will be forming journal special issues to be published after the conference. Note that authors who submit papers in response to this announcement, will have their papers evaluated for publication consideration in the Final Edition of the conference proceedings which will go to press soon after the conference (the conference would then make the necessary arrangements to ship the printed proceedings/books to such authors). The Final Edition of the conference proceedings will be identical to earlier edition except for a number of sections/chapters appended to the proceedings/book. 32229 Submission of Poster Papers: Poster papers can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same instructions that appear above. On the first page, the author should state that "This paper is being submitted as a poster for SERP". Poster papers (if accepted) will be published if and only if the author of the accepted poster wishes to have his/her poster published as a 2-page extended abstract.) GENERAL INFORMATION: SERP conference is being held jointly (same location and dates) with a number of other federated research conferences (World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing). This federated congress is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. The congress will be composed of research presentations, keynote lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, and poster presentations. In recent past, keynote/tutorial/panel speakers have included: Prof. David A. Patterson (pioneer, architecture, U. of California, Berkeley), Dr. K. Eric Drexler (known as Father of Nanotechnology), Prof. John H. Holland (known as Father of Genetic Algorithms; U. of Michigan), Prof. Ian Foster (known as Father of Grid Computing; U. of Chicago& ANL), Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy (pioneer, VR, U. of California, Berkeley), Prof. Barry Vercoe (Founding member of MIT Media Lab, MIT), Dr. Jim Gettys (known as X-man, developer of X Window System, xhost; OLPC), Prof. John Koza (known as Father of Genetic Programming, Stanford U.), Prof. Brian D. Athey (NIH Program Director, U. of Michigan), Prof. Viktor K. Prasanna (pioneer, U. of Southern California), Dr. Jose L. Munoz (NSF Program Director and Consultant), Prof. Jun Liu (pioneer, Broad Institute of MIT& Harvard U.), Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh (Father of Fuzzy Logic), Dr. Firouz Naderi (Head, NASA Mars Exploration Program/2000-2005 and Associate Director, Project Formulation& Strategy, Jet Propulsion Lab, CalTech/NASA; Director, NASA's JPL Solar System Exploration), Prof. David Lorge Parnas (Fellow of IEEE, ACM, RSC, CAE, GI; Dr.h.c.: ETH Zurich, Prof. Emeritus, McMaster U. and U. of Limerick), Prof. Eugene H. Spafford (Executive Director, CERIAS and Professor, Purdue University), Dr. Sandeep Chatterjee (Vice President& Chief Technology Officer, SourceTrace Systems, Inc.), and many other distinguished speakers. To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606 An important mission of the congress is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines.
